Both of those things (autism, lack of self confidence, transgender) caused me to be bullied... A lot. To the point where I had to leave school at the age of 17, simply because the bullying got too much to handle. Which means that now (in a time where it's already hard to find a job) it's INCREDIBLY difficult to find a job.

Aww hun if I could fliy over the ocean I would give you a hug (if okay) and hang with you until it was better I would in a heart beat. My older brother is a high functioning asperger and was bullied to the point he had to be moved to a new high school. It has always been hard for him to be in social situations and work was hard for him to find due to such. He had to rough it out as a gas station worker and in many ways that helped with is social fears. He later became a call center worker and that fit him extremely well in the end as odd as it sounds. But I understand all to well having anxiety and depression make finding work and keeping work almost heart breakingly hard. As far as the transgender aspect I don't have first hand knowledge and have only seen it from afar as a old school mate is making his transition FtM.

I would see if you can move your toon to a new guild. I know that here in the states there are LGBT guilds on some servers. Maybe there are some that you could look into with better more welcoming people that you can be even more open and out about your life and have people that share similar life issues. It might be worth it to change ur toons name or change realms. Don't let some dicks chase you away from WoW and something that helps you distress and brings you joy.

Hun promises us that you will throw away anything that you use to self harm and might be a temptation to use in such a horrible fashion. At a certain given moment it might seem the only thing but it is not and there are ppl that love you and would miss you.

I'm here to be a ear and chat even if I don't have all the answers to life and the path through it. Hit me up and we can muddle through the pain. Stay with us and fight on as you are stronger then this. This ppst is full of how strong you are not in anyway showing weakness. It shows that you are striving to meet each day.

That isnt to saying being a feminist is bad but being this kind..well that is. These feminists are the WE HATE MEN ALL MEN ARE EVIL AND SHOULD SERVE US OR BE REMOVED FROM THE PLANET feminists.. They scare me and make such a mockery of womens rights that sometimes I dont blame people who dont take it seriously.. :/

Again, not to offend but purely my opinion.

Gorrem hell and this is why when I say I'm a feminist that ppl like my mother groan. Equal right does not = this kind of horrible person.

I don't have a lot of time atm (It's my grandfather's birthday so going there soon) but I just wanted to say thanks to the people who replied to my post. I'll write a better response when I'm back (Probably in PMs to not fill up this thread with it too much) But really... Thank you

The pandas are the WORSE but if a huntard like me can do it then anyone can do it. Otherwise being a friend/guildie for those panda butts.

Have you tryed them after the new patch? They are nigh unkillable. Not when they can 2 hit someone to death.

[Novikova]

Yeah, the panda rares are just ... splattering my pets and me. I saw them annihilate a bear druid.

And ARGH STUPID WARBRINGERS. >:( Why do people complain about hunters being overpowered for soloing when a decently geared DK can solo so much more?

That said, as far as whore and slut go, if someone has sex, so what? If someone is a cheater, then they are a cheater. And that's bad if someone signed up for a monogamous relationship. You can't 'steal' someone's boyfriend - it's not like she can Falcon Punch his girlfriend, grab him off the loo and bolt out the window screaming "I AM THE SERPENT QUEEN I CAN DO ANYTHING." then keep him in her basement for years. It takes two to tango. I just think it's sad that it's almost always the woman who gets blamed when a guy cheats. They're both wrong and to blame.

I refer to Kate Beaton's brilliant strip on straw feminists who want to blow up the earth from the moon.

There's nothing wrong with being feminist, because hey, equal rights and not being shamed are totally rad. It's also nice to see more characters in art and media who aren't just eyecandy for men.

[cowmuflage]

Yeah true but it's good if your not the type that just uses the term as a reason to be sexist. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that.

[Novikova]

It's still bad to pick on people, I agree. It amazes me when people say something hateful or whatever, then get shocked that 'they look bad!' Well, yeah, when you say bad things about people... it looks bad, even if you have a good cause. It's like peeing on someone's doorstep. It kinda looks bad no matter what.

I didn't mean to seem as if I'm attacking anyone. Sure, if it's a joke among your friends, whatever.

And sadly, it's a very common insult. I've heard my co-workers refer to girls this way. I see it in fandom. Cosplayer in a scanty costume designed by a man? S-word! Girl who writes erotica? W-word! Artists who draw adult art? W-word!

I see it in WoW. It's EVERYWHERE. Crack open an episode of Maury and you realize that people are pretty horrible to one another. :/ And it's a bummer.

Then again, I suspect people being horrible in fandom and cosplay could take up a whole forum...

Edit: And hey, I'm totally willing to take this down. But I don't think being uncomfortable with a word is an attack on anyone. I never said not to use it. I apologize for my actions. I did not intend to come off as going after anyone for a rant. o_o

And can I not what?

[Eternallylostx]

Can you not

But in my heart's a memory
And there you'll always be...

I would think it's pretty poor form to post song lyrics in anticipation of me being forever banned. But hey. At least it's a good song.

And could we not harass me in PM? Thanks.

[Silivren]

Girls being back-stabbing gossipy bitches. Seriously quit spreading lies about me. I did NOT sleep with your boyfriend and that's not why he left you. I'm in a very happy relationship with a very serious boyfriend. Maybe your boyfriend left you because all you do is gossip and be a general witch to everyone if they don't do what you want or maybe it's because you don't have time for him OR maybe it's because the one time I saw you two together he saw my WoW t-shirt and started talking to me about WoW because he plays even though you say it makes him a "Fucking Loser". You're just a TERRIBLE person.

*This isn't about anyone on the forums btw so there's no confusion. This is a girl I know irl.*

... Dude. Not every reply that comes after yours is directed at you. At least that's very much how you seem to think it looks. .___.
That song is *very* powerful and meaningful to me and it has *nothing* to do with whatever you're on about. I came across it again and now I'm in a terrible mood because of it. That's all.

Edit: Sorry if I have got this completely wrong or something but it's the fact you posted something about song lyrics right after I posted song lyrics and then you edited your previous post to say 'Can I not what?' as if in response to Eternal's post when she may not have even been directly talking to you. I don't wanna start fights or anything, not at all, but you're responding to everything underneath your comment in a way that makes it look like everything's being directed at you... which it is not. Or at least that's how I'm seeing it...

Eternal's post does look like it's directed at her :/ But I can see how it's all in the eye of teh reader XD

Wait, I wasn't referring to that. But yeah, if you want to argue or something, please take it to PM's or ignore eachother until your minds have sorted it through. This is a good community and the people here are nice, from what I've seen, so please don't ruin that image by yelling/arguing with each other here.

It was more directed at this game i'm playing and the people in it. >_>

stupid machine gun spammers. It's not cool.

When you have been here as long as I have you kind of realise that's not 100% true I remember the days where I used to get PMs telling me I can't post things in the happy thread as they made others not happy XD

pfft, jealousy is alright. That's how I feel with people who have Ashes.
As you can see, I've only been here since Sept as a member and a lurker for a year or so, so I really don't know much past that ^^;

Like I said in my previous post, I don't want to argue at all, which is why I even said sorry, but I am slightly offended that something that makes me a little bit depressed has possibly been taken in a way which I did not direct it to be. I really don't know what she's talking about when she says she's being banned though. I don't see why she'd be banned for ranting in a rant thread.

Kinda doesn't make sense to me, either; I mean, that's what it's made for.

But yeah, that really wasn't directed toward anyone here on these forums.

[Syleye]

Well, I'm not sure but everyone lately seems a little sensitive..here and outside, BUT I am in a wonderful mood today for so many reasons so I think everyone just needs a big group hug, so there you all go

Oh and the time I got pm'd saying I should leave as this was a "rare hunter pet forum" and as I am vocal about not liking them I should go away that was pants wetting laughable I think that was last year too XD
